About This Company

Campa South Rentals is a small family-owned campervan hire in New Zealand that offers 2 to 4 berth self-contained campers from Christchurch. The company focuses on providing a personal touch to each camper, especially for travellers looking for a budget-friendly NZ road trip.

As a family business, it is the company's goal to provide personalized campers that are ideal for travellers on a budget. All vehicles are in great shape despite the older models on the fleet, which means that these are very well-maintained. Another impressive feature is the complimentary airport pickup and return service so that you don't have to deal with the bus ride after a long-haul flight. Their one and only depot is located in Christchurch.

Though not newer model campervans, Campa South Rentals takes pride with their well-maintained campers that can cater for up to 4 people. They have five campervan options—Premium Deluxe, Deluxe, Standard, Sleepervan, and Budget Hi-top—all of which are tailored to an economical road trip. And since their campervans do not come with any commercial logos or loud exteriors, you'll fittingly enjoy a more serene vacation on wheels.

Campa South Rentals emphasizes providing not just quality 2 to 4 berth campervans, but also quality service, with a dash of personalized touches. These simple campervans offer you everything you need, from comfy linens down to a box of matches.

Cecily ★★★★★ 5.0/5
Perfect little van for the week
We had such a wonderful week travelling the South Island in the van from Campa South. The van was exactly what we were hoping for. Comfy, an excellent layout and easy enough to drive and park. The airport pick up and drop off was a luxurious perk and made the whole trip feel seamless. The team at Campa South were helpful and quick to respond both before and during the trip and nothing felt like a bother. I’d happily reccomend Campa South to anyone and hope one day I can return for another trip.

Yay Campa South!!
Our experience with Campa South was phenomenal! Our van checked all of our boxes and more—it was a reliable vehicle, equipped with a comfy bed, stovetop + cooking supplies, and was certified self contained. Things we loved about our experience: 1. Prompt Communication: Getting in touch with Campa South was easy with email and text. They gave us detailed descriptions for what to expect upon arriving to New Zealand! They always responded quickly before and during our journey! 2. Excellent costumer service: Susan and Graham went above and beyond expectations by picking us up from the airport, and providing thorough insight for sightseeing in New Zealand. 3. Van Aesthetic: Nondescript, white paint job that made the van less touristy and have more homey vibes. Would highly recommend and would rent from again on our next return!
